The Internet Is Bowing Down To The Twitter Employee Who Deactivated Trump’s Account On Their Last Day
So apparently the reason that Donald Trump’s Twitter was gone for a blissful 11 minutes earlier today was because a Twitter employee working his last day on the job decided to deactivate the account. Go out with a bang ya bloody legend!
When people first realised that the account was gone, it wasn’t quite clear what exactly had happened, but it definitely felt like good news.

At first, Twitter’s official account was all like:
Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

But THEN, they were all like:
Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF

Just gonna say it, the employee at Twitter who shut off Trump's account for 11 mins could become a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Poetry was inspired:
Trump's Twitter was down
We've heard the news;
Inadvertently deactivated
Was the term Twitter used.
But why inadvertent?
Why not make it for keeps?
And spare us dangers
His account daily reaps?
So @twitter, how ‘bout it?
Make it right:
Delete @realDonaldTrump

You are an inspiration to us all ‘Human error’
Live your best life, former Twitter employee.
